    This document outlines an assignment for students to create a conspiracy theory about a major event that occurred between 1850 and 2020. It provides examples of real conspiracy theories and directs students to choose a year, event, and then develop an original conspiracy theory about what really happened. Students are instructed to include factual evidence and a visual presentation to accompany a two-minute presentation about their conspiracy theory. They are encouraged to consider theories from both within and outside the United States and to argue whether the theory could be plausible or not.

    An example of a conspiracy theory would be Although there are Bigfoot sightings all over the
    US, Washington state has the highest number. There have been 2,032 sightings in the state,
    according to Newsweek.

    There are a number of theories around the mythical creature. Some believe it's a ferocious beast
    meant to be feared and others think it's a harmless creature that wants to be left alone. There
    are other theories that Bigfoot is related to humans since it walks on two legs, while others
    think it's an extraterrestrial being.

    The original 1958 footprints were a prank by a man named Ray Wallace near Bluff Creek in
    Northern California, according to the Smithsonian. His children revealed it was all a joke
    after his death in 2002. (
